Yes, actually. 2000 is the last year for the large 50,000 Lira coin. They have struck them in any planchet they found. They're not uncommon. Variety 1 is not brass, I think. It's a low quality copper nickel alloy. If it is brass, and cast, it can be a counterfeit (not common, but not rare too)

Thanks, molydeii, for the explanation. I was only making a guess at the compositions going by the color of the coin.
